This weekend is another “big one,” the last before Halloween events become the primary thing to do around here. The big Ocean City fall block party (with fireworks!) is this weekend, as is Cape May Brewing Co’s big fall bash, and Avalon’s big fall festival. The weather is supposed to be windy Saturday but sunny and still Saturday – keep an eye on the weather before heading out. But you knew that already!
